Elvis Costello Fan Forum

OK, so in order to get to the review you have to read through my story – but its about the kindness of Elvis fans, so hopefully you’ll appreciate. I’ve been in Philly for work this week, so I figured if my work ended in time I’d go buy a ticket to see Elvis again (saw the 2nd Oakland show.) Things w...

Another great show. A bit shorter than usual, and his voice got rough in the 2nd half. But the set list was prime, the audience was wild, and the band (Elvis included) was on fire. Hoover Factory! Pills and Soap! More later.

Great show. My 10th (I think), and definitely one of the most fun. Some of the ones that Lieutzip missed: Heart of the City (pretty sure this was song #2) Green Shirt (first of the color songs) River in Reverse was actually This Wheel's On Fire -> RIR. A highlight. Strict Time Jimmie Standing ended ...

Waiting for the show to start here in Oakland.
For your amusement, some changes to the wheel:
- 45 replaces Bedlam
- Deep Dark Truthful Mirror replaces You Tripped
- End of the World replaces Doll Rev
- Flutter replaces Josephine

Bummed that the bay area stop this time is at the Fox. That place has absolutely the worst sound of any venue I've ever been in. (Not that that'll stop me from going, mind you...)

Any chance someone could re-seed this one on Dime? This is a fantastic show, but I've only heard it via an old cassette copy... definitely essential listening for Elvis fans.
Thanks!

I've finally gotten around to posting a few of my pics from this show on Flickr - check them out at:

Quick recap: Great show, played about 1 hr 20 minutes but it felt much more substantial than the Police gigs. No pause between songs - they managed to squeeze a lot in. Band was Imposters minus Steve plus Austin + John from Clover! Took them a few songs to get warmed up, but after that they were ver...

I've managed to get myself a ticket for this through work - can't wait. For those in town, there seem to be some tickets available on Craigslist. The prices are coming down since I checked the other day. "Official" price (for conference attendees who want to bring a friend) is $350; they'r...

Yeah, he was a little rough last night. Things started promising, and there were a few highlights - esp. Uncomplicated. It went downhill fast, though... by Alison, he could barely make any sound at all. Still, I'll take mediocre Elvis over The Police any day. That's no insult towards them - they wer...
